Self Assessment: Who Am I?
When thinking about what we want to do next after High School, there are an abundance of options for us to choose. It is important to learn more about ourselves before we decide. Our interests, skills, and values all play a role in deciding what kind of job is the best fit for us.
What better way to learn about the things that make us tick then to answer some questions about our thoughts and feelings in each subject.
PA Career Zone makes this process fun by having students click on “Assess Yourself” and fill out 4 different surveys. The results will allow you to search careers that are a good match for you!
If you have questions during this process, feel free to reach out to your School Counselor!
